HDTV??Antena no more

I am not too crazy about HDTV Converted Box. We Only have rabbit ears so I guess we'll have to throw out our tv.

Sorry Erin. You do know that your posting on a site in England, don't you? Half the time folk don't know what you're talking about, chuck. What are rabbit ears?

I'd better not.

an antena

Is it one of those on top of the telly with two aerials MM hence the "ears" reference?

That is all my hubby and I have. The man upstairs is a mechanic and always cutting out our reception with his grinding.

Yes, it was, they usually had two extendible rods, placed at an angle of 45°, you could rotate them etc.

Ah, cheers dave©.

I shudder to think what that scoundrel upstairs is up to.

I hope he's not bumping as well as grinding.

Rabbit ears! a bit of genetic mutation going on there?

Maybe the guy upstairs has 'jackrabbit' ears

Anyway everybody,this is a cause for celebration. Erin has got back to a thread. Well done Erin

Erin's Dave, watching their telly!

QUOTE ...That is all my hubby and I have. The man upstairs is a mechanic and always cutting out our reception with his grinding.

Nothing worse than having your rabbit ears cut off by someones grinding.......... bet Mr bobbit would disagree wi that

I believe he's a porn star now... no kidding

Nice one Tonker!

Erin with her 'rabbit ears'!

hilarious thread.

I've been pondering on this all day.

Yon mon what keeps grinding and disrupting reception:- Are his activities going on upstairs, or does he grind around the rest of the place.

And as for Mr Bobbit Sue, lets just pray that the man upstairs is more of a monkey than an organ-grinder.

Ah well, nil desperandum carborundum illegitimum.

Just read all of these threads to my other half, he can't believe they are real.Am scriking laffing at them, erin gets better and barmier!

now we can't watch dvds or listen to cds anymore. Ohh no! what are we gonna do. No my brothers rabbits and baby bunies have rabbit ears. Hahahaha

Are they the Ann summers type of "Rabbit Ears" they do seem to be rampant around here of late.

Just a thought,you don't think that Rod Hull was having trouble with his rabbit ears do you ?

I'll get me Emu!

I cried when I read the grinding bit. Mice in an attic must be murder. But a grinding mechanic upstairs. I can't describe the images it conjured up.

Seriously though, the poor woman could have a neighbour from hell in a flat above her. Then again he could also have his problems with neighbours.

"No my brothers rabbits and baby bunies have rabbit ears. Hahahaha"

I'm bloody speachless!!!

cd's and dvd's dont' need rabbit ears surely.

Don't worry Erin hubby and uncle Jim Bob are on their way with a surpise for you!

That's modern technology for you!

Is that a ground down 56 Chevvy with 7" wheels?

No rabbit ears needed!

does he bump as well? Must make for a lively evenings entertainment. The man upstairs grinding, and madame m and her hubby fiddling with their rabbit ears!!

Does yon mon upstairs grind his teeth in his sleep? That could be very dangerous.

Could it be Cliff Thorburn

He could be in the frame for this.

Douglas, the Cliff Thorburn reference had me snookered.

Maybe Errin lives on the ground (no pun intended) floor of a WindMill. That would explain the upstairs activity

There's somebody at the door.

There's somebody at the door.

Witch ww'er will answer it?

And which other potty eccentric lived in a similar building?

Was it Michael Bentine?

Windy Miller!

Not the one I mean douglas.

Mr Potts.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!!!!

I've also had a look for Benny Hills Windmill

Any takers?

Is it for sail (or four sails)?

Not nautical jo anne.

Toys!

Transport

(Not his TV series)

Windmill club?

Wind nill

Sun seven

And now for tomorrows outlook.

I'm sure i have no idea to what you jest of!

Clue

Nope!

Film

Benny was the fire chief.

Windmill was a lookout post.

Ahhhhh! Magnificent men and their flying machines, i kept thinking Fred scuttle.

Sorry Dostaf - that one sailed me by.

Did you see The Simpsons and see them run round in circles to the Benny Hill tune tonight?

Not really a big Simpsons fan jo anne. Watch occasionaly though.

Doh - you missed it then.

Yes I'm a bit of a duffer jo anne.

Why, what ales thee dostaf

I get terrible bouts of ogangeboom douglas.

Could be wors I suppose. Look at Homer.

Why do you say that? He's still quite animated Dostaf.

I can't say I've seen Homer's boom jo anne.

I'll give that comment the brush off, Dostaf.

I've got a tune stuck in my head now. Diluted Eye Level (or Van Der Valk theme music).

♪♫♪♫♪Orangeboom, Orangeboom, It's a lager not a tune.............etc..♪♫♪♫♪.

The advert had animated blue and white tiles (Delft?), with windmills and other Dutch icons on them.

Delft windmill tile.

I once got some toffee rock stuck in mi hair. You must have been suckin' it way too hard dostaf

I remember the advert now you've described it Dostaf.

Does anyone remember the children's ITV programme, A Handful of Songs?

A Windmill in Old Amsterdam (I saw a Mouse)

Did it have cloggs on

We won't be able to breathe easily till we know the offending sweet has been removed Dostaf.

Yes it did Douglas - it's probably popped them by now though.

All clear.

Phew - that's exhalent, Dostaf.

This threads been goin' for ages now, i'm gettin' menthaly exhausted

Was it the Tunes advert with the "secod class to Dottighab" line?

That's the ticket.

Yes and then the same phrase after a tune

And as for poor old Malcolm.

He never needed it once.

What was it?

it got up my nose that ad.

Vics?

The hours of tv you must have suffered to become an adverts' expert, Dostaf.

Square eyes? Maybe. Rabbit ears? Never.

Yes douglas it was Vics Sinex.

Rabbit ears? Never.

That still doesn't stop you rabbiting on about television though Dostaf.

Your tv hare-iel is obviously suffice for hoptimum reception.

Like er, chill-out man, er, mam, er woman.

Are you being er, man, too rude, Dostaf?

(I loved this, but it's got a poor review on imdb.)

Only seen the old telly version jo anne.

Dougal was good.

Has Grinder slipped a disc?

You don't have rabbit ears in Britain? Or do you call them something else? Mine didn't get very good reception. Either we're too low or maybe computers and stuff interfered. So I put them in the attic. I was gonna get a roof top aerial but thought it would be ostentatious and maybe cause a keeping up with the Jones' competition with the neighbours.

We do Barflag, but only in Ann Summers.

oh !

Yeah like you didn't know Danni.

havent got a clue xrh

Ann Summers, xr, what you on about? Havin' any parties we girls should all know about?

maybe we'll get an invite eh xrh?

Of course Danni you will have to bring your own 'balloons' and a bottle though.

tut !

You'll have to make do with your bibke then Erin (whatever that is!)
